Unwanted ice formations may cause severe functional degradations of facilities and also
have a negative impact on their lifespans. Avoiding and removing ice accumulation is …

Motivated by strategies for targeted microfluidic transport of droplets, we investigate how
sessile droplets can be steered toward a preferred direction using travelling waves in …

Innovations in dynamic polymeric materials offer prospects to improve the circularity and
lower the environmental impact of the modern polymer economy. These materials are also …

Surfaces with photoswitchable wettability are of great interest for various applications such
as smart coatings or liquid condensation. The photochromic ring opening reaction of …

Low-molecular-weight peptide gelators are a versatile class of compounds able to form gels
under a variety of conditions, even via simple ultrasound sonication. In this paper, the ability …

Liquid drops slide more slowly over soft, deformable substrates than over rigid solids. This
phenomenon can be attributed to the viscoelastic dissipation induced by the moving wetting …

Interfacial phenomena like wetting, adsorption and desorption are fundamental to our
everyday life. For example, wetting determines how rain drops trail one another on a window …
